[Re. NY legalizing same-sex marriage]
So the new Weimar Republic on the Hudson has something to celebrate.
It won't last long though, the coming backlash against the perverted marxist degenerate scum democrat party and their supporters in the populace and the press isn't going to be pretty.
The nation cannot endure half evil marxist and half good capitalist.
Somehow I don't see these homosexuals, communists and welfare cases taking up arms to prevent the free states from leaving.

What baffles me is that there are actually people who pay attention to these rambling lunatics.
In a healthy society these people would live in desolation in a caves and eat moss...
Edit: Or be in intensive care... Whatever. :P

We have two parties in power in the U.S.: the party that uses minimal social services to distract people from the harder edges of capitalism, and the party that uses theocracy to distract people from the harder edges of capitalism. The only political current likely to draw any power away from the capitalists in the near term is the theocratic-totalitarian shit that both of the parties in power flirt with.
In the meantime, we have one socialist in Congress. And he's one of our best!

It wasn't pretty when the KKK tried to keep the niggers in their place in the 60s. There were arrests and trials and sentences and the KKK was reduced to having barbecues while wearing bedsheets because it was too dangerous to do any midnight lynching.

No you don't. Go. Just please, GO.
Wait, is Rome2000 advocating the political system which took over from the Weimar Republic?* Sure sounds that way.
*Hint: It was led by a failed painter with a small moustache.
Hrmmm yes granting civil rights to a long-ignored and oppressed group will inevitably lead to Nazism. Please tell me more.
Also just wondering when the modern gay Marxist New York equivalent of Metropolis is due out. You know that episode of South Park with the Death Camp of Tolerance or whatever was more of a metaphor than something meant to be taken literally right?
How DARE you paraphrase Abraham Lincoln to support your backwards and reactionary agenda and scare tactics?! And comparing it to the Civil War which you Freepers wish had gone the other way, no less! You are the lowest of the low, Rome. It was definitely a good thing that your empire fell.

I sometimes wonder if these idiots even know what "free" means, or if they just use it as a synonym for "stuff I think is good".
"Stuff I think is good" is the only answer that makes sense. That's how they can argue that arbitrarily restricting personal liberty and/or permitting things that threaten it (banning abortion and gay marriage, opposing net neutrality legislation, opposing environmental regulations) actually represents "freedom".
On the other side of the coin, "fascism" is anything that is bad. For one abundant example, "gay marriage is fascism". Half-understood Nazi allusions work well here too.
I haven't followed politics in the US that closely, but isn't Obama gaining support from the voters?
I know Sweden is already a heathen, marxist, liberal hell in these dolts' eyes, but we've had registered partnership for ten years and we're still here, somehow. Now we have gender-neutral marriage laws as well, still no implosion or school shootings.
The Weimar Republic was what Germany had before that whole little Nationalist Socialist Party debacle. You do know that much, right? Kindly LERN2HISTORY. Until then, STFU and STFD.
He probably also doesn't know that the Weimar Republic went through a brief golden age, enjoying relative economic and civil tranquility and a pretty impressive boom in the arts.
You know who placed themselves in opposition to the communists in the Weimar Republic ? Jingoistic, bloodthirsty fanatics who worshipped a book, paid lip service to democracy while proudly declaring their intent to crush any opposing voice once in power, and persecuted everyone who didn't fit in their vision of a perfect citizen.
The main difference was that in the Weimar Republic, the threat of communism was only semi- imaginary, rather than entirely phantasmagoric.

With the trash that makes up the current Republican party candidates a gerbil could gain support over them. Seriously, when Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are considered legitimate candidates you know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard you're getting splinters.
Are all the fundies really this fucking ignorant?
The Weimar Republic preceded Hitler's Third Reich and it wasn't Marxist. Most communist states have a horrible record when it comes to human rights abuses against gays. And as far as I know, the states that are the worst off financially are the ones in the Bible Belt, so they're free to leave anytime. The rest of the USA will be better off financially (and intellectually).
"Somehow I don't see these homosexuals, communists and welfare cases taking up arms to prevent the free states from leaving."
Nevermind the fact that almost all of his definitions are wrong, and instead look at what he means.
The blue states aren't going to stop the red states from seceding. Am I the only one who thinks that the blue states, which contain the bulk of American cultural and economic centers, would actually be better off without the red states?
I'm sorry, did you just declare your intention to secede from the Union? Regardless of whether or not you're the representative of your state ((Which you aren't, by the way)), what you just committed was 'Conspiracy to Commit Treason'. I look forward to Homeland Security and/or the FBI showing up at your door now.
Wow, the Freepers are all in a tizzy over gay marriage in NY. How the hell will it affect you if you aren't gay? That's right, it doesn't and won't. But reasoning with these people . . . you just can't do it . . .
I am probably what you would call a good capitalist: I am a minarchist, think that the government should get out of our lives ASAP, work despite probably qualifying for welfare, support the right to keep and bear arms, am against a lot of welfare, etc...
...until you'd learn that I am for gay marriage, group marriage, stem cell research, abortion and secularism.
Weimar Republic on the Hudson, huh? Maybe all of the German-Americans living in New York City can organize a festival with that name and invite homosexuals, communists, anarchists, etc. just to spite you.
Stop paraphrasing Abraham Lincoln's words. You're advocating secession, which is the OPPOSITE of what he wanted. He's probably rolling in his grave right now.
What exactly do you mean by "free states?" States that feel free to discriminate against their own citizens by passing anti-gay marriage laws or enshrining anti-gay marriage regulations in their state constitutions? States that feel free to restrict a woman's right to choose by passing barbaric anti-abortion measures? States that feel free to fly a flag that meant the opposite of freedom to African-Americans? If that's your definition of "free," I don't want any part of it.
Somehow I don't see these homosexuals, communists and welfare cases taking up arms to prevent the free states from leaving.
They might, mainly because they know if you idiots left, you'd be demanding assistance.
Or more probably, they won't give a damn. After all, they didn't give a damn when the Prohibition ended(or started, for that matter)or when the Jim Crow Laws were repelled.
By all means leave! Please please PLEASE leave.
I'm thinking that without the southern states we'll see a kinder, gentler, more educated, more sensible US, which is good for the world.
And we'll see a bumfuck state north of Mexico and south of the US that'll be a bankrupt third world country in a few years, that's sort of a christian Iran.
You're right, the backlash won't be pretty. It will, however, be small and ineffectual.
"good capitalist"?!
Google "robber barons", then get back to me about the inherent goodness of capitalism.
"Somehow I don't see these homosexuals, communists and welfare cases taking up arms to prevent the free states from leaving."
Neither can I, but not for the reasons that you suppose. They're more likely to encourage you to leave and help you pack.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
